Comet Script Files

Starting with Build 306 of
You can launch Comet or CometAnywhere via a Comet Script File.

A Comet Script File is a one-line
or two-line text file that contains startup information for Comet or
CometAnywhere. These files are distinguished from other text files by a unique
extension: CSW (an abbreviation for "Comet Script for
Windows").

You can launch a Comet Script File
from Windows Explorer, from a desktop shortcut, or from a web page hyperlink.
This latter feature is where Comet Script Files really shine. Imagine clicking
on a link on a web page and, as a result, launching a Comet or CometAnywhere
session.

For example, here is a Comet
Script File that launches Comet using a profile name of node1, and including
the /sec and /max startup options:

Saving this script file with a CSW
extension lets you launch Comet via the script file. Here is a segment from an HTML
document that demonstrates the point. These tags define a hyperlink that launches
a Comet Script File named c:\comet.csw.

<a
href=""file:///c:\comet.csw">

Launch Comet

</a>

When you click on the "Launch
Comet" hyperlink, the browser launches the c:\comet.csw script
file, which starts Comet using the furnished information (profile name and
other startup options).
